Whirlwind of a week...or 2

I'm finally relaxing after what feels like a crazy, out of body past 2 weeks ( almost) that I have had. Although, I can't say it was too chaotic, adjustments into my working schedule have left me an old woman in bed at the latest 8:30 every night! :)
Last Tuesday I had a small meeting with Internet Truckstop in New Plymouth. I had heard that they were swamped with Graphic Design work and had contacted them about a possibility of them wanting me to do some freelance stuff, at most a brochure or logo, just something to fill in on the extra time slot in between waitressing & my plan to go to Grad School.
At 10 I walk into this meeting with the most wonderful woman Leigh, who then takes me over to get asked a few questions by nice man named Joel. He had his own office so I'm thinking he's a pretty big deal and leave his office with a full time job as their 2nd Graphic Designer!!! I then meet the founder of Internet Truckstop and have no recollection of anything that was said at that point on because I was in an astonished daze of happiness! I started the next day at 8 & just got my MAC all set up at my desk! I even get a name tag! I know silly things sounds very unimportant but OH how I feel special! ( and blessed, and privileged, and jumping out of my BONES ecstatic! )
Who does that happen to?! !!!!! Anyways, as you can see I feel so gracious and blessed that I have my dream job, now I just have to maintain it :)! Time has been scarce, jumping from one job to the next & with Tyler working graveyard our minutes together are few but that won't last too long!
My parents, Tyler and I went out to Boise today to do a little shopping, which we had one or two ...or maybe a few more bags of success! It's okay right? I'm working hard! haha!
Now it's time for some laundry and a great new book I got at Costco.. and maybe a nice cold Coors Light! :)

New Blog... kind of!

So, our previous blog has always been marked as public, yet would NOT allow anyone to see it! I tried and tried but something inside the little codes must have gone a little cooky, because a blog shouldn't be that hard to figure out! So here it is! Our new blog address! The great thing is I got to transfer my old blog hoopla to this one, and now everyone can see what I have been blogging! We aren't an invisible ghost of a blog anymore! :) Hopefully, now, this blog will help us with our goal of keeping our long distance friends and family in touch with our Eastern Oregon lives! Hooray!

kittens! :)

I was taking pictures for my digital photography class ( online) & snapped a few of the newest addition to the DINSMORE fam. Dinsmore, not Swanson. ha . Mom & Dad needed two new "mousers" so ta da! Here are Oli & Gurt. 

  Behind the names: Our other two cats our named Butter & Cream. Keeping with the dairy family we picked Oli ( for Olio Margarine) & Yogurt. Oli & Gurt stuck.  They are now about 12 weeks old finally, & I think we got them around 4. They were sickly due to being weened from the mommy WAY too early, and out of that whole litter these are the two that survived! ( so far!) 

 

one more for the night!

Just a reminder to anyone who is interested! SECOND ANNUAL DINSMORE MEYER CHRISTMAS PARTY is coming near! DECEMBER 19th!!!!! Here is the invite! Anyone who wants to come COME and let us know!! :)

Emma Belle Crooks

I can't believe I haven't updated this in so long! Now so much really has happened! My amazing friends Brittney & Kyle Crooks created a beautiful baby girl who was born in August! It is such a blessing to have seen their love through out such a big part of it! And what a blessing they have brought into the world! They were gracious enough to let me be apart of sharing it with the world & I made her baby announcements for them! :) I could not have had a better project to work on! I can't wait to meet her, hopefully in the nearish future, after the holiday season! I know both Tyler and I miss their company so much! 

Ashlyn's Birthday Invite! :)

Here is a cute little invite I did for my friend Mandy ( & Heather ) over in Monmouth! Her baby Ashlyn is already turning one! They are having a cute lady bug themed party and these invites were printed out at walmart on photo paper! Cheap & cute! Gotta love saving on those things!

neglect

I have neglected this poor poor blog! I was waiting until I had more updates because there wasn't anything too exciting happening here for quite a while so now we can keep this going! Tyler has a job!!! At Americold here in Ontario! Which we love because our steps to moving out of the parents are becoming smaller as the savings account is becoming bigger! :) I am still working at Brewsky's which I absolutely love! The people there crack me up, I get to work with friends and I get to see everyone around! Tyler is also still volunteer firefighting, which he loves, although the calls are pretty slim right now! 

 I'm sorry for anyone who does read this, even if you are some strange passerby! :) I have found a new blogging time! 6 on Tuesdays because Tyler has drill and Biggest Loser doesn't start till 7! So here is where I will be!
